AI Article Synopsis

  • Histamine poisoning from seafood poses a major public health risk, prompting the development of a new detection method.
  • A competitive sandwich immunoassay using a modified biotin-streptavidin system was created, achieving an impressive correlation coefficient of 0.9942 and a broad detection range for histamine.
  • This new method, requiring no sample derivatization, demonstrated high recovery rates in seafood samples and a lower detection limit compared to traditional testing methods, making it suitable for regular seafood safety checks.

Article Abstract

Histamine poisoning from seafood is a significant public health and safety concern. To detect histamine sensitively and accurately, a novel competitive sandwich immunoassay using a modified biotin-streptavidin system coupling with polylysine was developed. Using this strategy, a sandwich ELISA with an IC value of 112.8 ng mL and a broad linear range of 11.7-1500 ng mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9942 was validated. Without any sample derivatization procedure, the recovery of histamine ranged from 80.19% to 108.3% with a coefficient of variation of 1.43-11.7% in tuna, prawn and crab. The sandwich ELISA had a detectionlimit of 5.86 ng mL, which was 15-fold lower than an indirect competitive ELISA (ic-ELISA). This simple, sensitive and accurate method can be applied to detect histamine in routine seafood samples.

Early detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is crucial for eliminating this silent killer, especially in resource-limited settings. HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) represents a promising alternative to the current "gold standard" HCV RNA assays as an active viremia biomarker. Herein, a highly sensitive electrochemical magneto-immunosensor for the HCVcAg was developed.

Cholera rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are vulnerable to virulent bacteriophage predation. We hypothesized that an enhanced cholera RDT that detects the common virulent bacteriophage ICP1 might serve as a proxy for pathogen detection. We previously developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) to the ICP1 major capsid protein.

Septins are evolutionarily conserved GTP-binding proteins mediating innate immunity, autophagy and inflammation in higher animals; however, they are yet to be fully characterized in fish. The study encompasses cloning of complete septin 2 cDNA from the rohu carp (Labeo rohita) that consisted of an open reading frame of 1050 bp and phylogenetic amino acid similarity of 99.43 % to cyprinid Onychostoma macrolepis.

Conventional fluorescent probes with weak fluorescence signals and aggregation-caused quenching effect limits in biomarkers detection, thus requiring many labeled target molecules to combine their output to achieve higher signal-to noise. Here, we harness a "immune-sandwich" based affinity sensor with development of ultrabright aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) microspheres as signal reporter. The fabricated sensor can simultaneously permit triple detection formats by naked eye, spectrum, and computer vision counting (termed "NeSCV sensor").
